How to Build an Online Business Part 5
Multiple Income Streams
© 2003 Terri Seymour
When building your website and online business,
consider not just one, but multiple income streams.
You want to be able to make money in more ways than
one. There are several ways of bringing in income from
your online business.
Affiliate Programs - Very cost effective way of
expanding your business and bringing in more income.
Find other people's products that relate to your business
and sell them. You can easily earn 50% commissions by
promoting and selling excellent products that were
written/ developed by someone else. You should always
buy or try the product first before you promote or
recommend it. You want to keep your reputation clean.
To find some good programs/products visit affiliate
program directories such as :

http://www.affiliatebroadcast.com/

Advertising Space - Selling advertising space in your
ezine or on your website is an excellent way of earning
a larger income. Advertising accounts for a large
portion of my MOE income.
You can sell various spots in your ezine as well as
solo ads. Use testimonials to let people know the
effectiveness of your ezine advertising.
You could also sell advertising on your site in the
form of directories buttons, banners or an ordinary
text ad. You can charge a one time fee or charge by
the week, month or year.
Services - If you aren't utilizing your talents in the
form of services, you should be. Offer your services
by the hour or by the job.
ebook compiling
organization services
article submitting
ezine publishing
website design
website maintenance
article writing
search engine submission
website promotion...................
The possibilities are endless. Use your talents to
help others while increasing your income.
Your Own Products - Writing/developing your own
products is not as hard as you might think. Once
you get your product finished, you can set up your
own affiliate program and have others selling for you.

Paid Ecourses - Teach others what you know and
have learned. Set up an ecourse by email or
autoresponder. Encourage interaction by giving
homework assignments, tests, etc. I have seen
these courses sell for hundreds of dollars for a
six week course. Charging a more reasonable
amount might get you more results.
Expand your horizons and don't think you have to limit
yourself when it comes to your business. Learn, do,
experience, and be creative with your online business!
